Just to get back on topic, I think we could see a bit of a different XI turning out for this match. With the match being played on Friday night there will be plenty of scouts/managers there so I'm thinking Darlow/Lascelles/Pato might be given a night off.

DDV in goal, same back four, Moose in for Lansbury, maybe Raddi in for Vaughan or Reidy, Hendo up front.

I'd still be confident of progressing

I would put Cox and Derbyshire up front to give then a chance to get some goals and build their confidence. I would also give Mackie and Abdoun a run down the wings with Moose and Raddi in the middle. The back four picks itself

I'm not sure the manager will go back to two strikers, and after moaning about the formation for so long I think I now agree with him.

The current formation which seems to segue easily from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3 is working well and the players seem comfortable with it. Very few good teams now play with two out-and-out strikers. I think we should stick with the current formation and play it at all levels - first team to schoolboy level

Anyone know if tonight's game is showing in the telly box anywhere in the world? Any links?

I don't think so SHH, certainly not in the UK.

Let's hope for a good decisive result tonight, hopefully it might cheer us up a bit. Or not.

On a happier note, Paterson has been voted player of the third round, so that's nice.

On the other the hand, that probably will mean he now gets poached in the next week

Darlow, Jara, Halford, Collins, Lichaj, Vaughan, Mackie, Majewski, Reid(C), Paterson, Cox


Strong line up for this game, Davies is clearly taking the FA cup seriously this season.
